what is the meaning behind saturday rations?
Saturday Rations is inspired by a heartwarming tradition.
On Saturdays, a day of rest and gathering, slaves were given their weekly rations. These humble ingredients - pig fat, meat scraps, cornmeal, and the fruits of their own gardens - were magically transformed into the rich flavors and warm aromas we now know as soul food.
In their hands, simple fare became a celebration of taste.
a testament to their extraordinary culinary creativity and spirit.
Here at Saturday Rations, we infuse this joyful resilience into every dish.
Our philosophy?
Food is not just nourishment; it's a delight, a healer, a way to connect with our roots. We believe in the power of wholesome ingredients to create meals that are not only healthy but also full of flavor and happiness. Join us in celebrating a legacy of love, flavor, and community, one delicious bite at a time.
“ I realized that being a cook wasn’t only about providing people with food, but rather about providing them with the feeling that they were cared for. "
